Harvesting n snow-slidc.

Captain Jackson of the Belle of the West
has novel idea. High up in Full Moon
Gulch, in a point almost inaccessible To
animals, the Belle of the West people have
secured some timber. In mid-wintcr this
gulch is a prolific breeder of untamed snow.
slides. The Captains plan is simply to fell
the timber on the newly-iallen snow in the
gulch and let each successive slide carry its
burden to the park below. Snow-sldes, like
lightning, have often been instruments of
destruction, sure and pitiless as fate itself,
but this is the first time we have heard man
propose to use their latent power for useful
ends. The next thing we know some daring
individual will be hoisting ore with u water

A Movement to Hold the Encampmcnt
Next June.
CoLUmus, ONO, Dec. 1O.-There are
several members of the Executive Com
mittee in the council Of administration
of the Grand Army now in session here
who are strongly advocating the holding
of the grand encampment in June next
instead of September.
1t was learned last night that the ap-
pearance Of Governor Foraker in behalf
Of the local committee and to favor
holding the encampment in September
was not received by certain members of
the Executive Committee with much
favor, on the ground that they consider
that it is giving the Governor an oppor-
tunity TO boom himself for the Presi-
dency.
Notwithstanding these objections and
fears it was practically settled last night
that the encampment shall be held in
the second week in September. Those
members of the committee who were
opposed to this date urged that if the
encampmont should be held in June it
would take ii out of politics altogether,
and the encampment would be over be-
fore eithey National Convention would
be held, and there would be no embar-
rassment by the presence of Presidential
candidates.

Franks Of a Church Mouse.

The soft strains of the organ in tho
Birmingham Episcopal church were
floating on the air, and the congrega-
ton were just composing themselves for
prayer. when the profound silence in
the church was broken by piercing
shrek. At the same instant that the
shrek rang through the church a. young
woman who was singing in the choir
gallery leaped from her seat and jumped
so-high that she nearly fell over the
gallery rail. She continued to comfort
her body violently, explaining to her
associates that there was something on
her back" The organist. young man
of nerve. played through to the end of
his music. No one saw any thing un-
usual on her back. but finally TO satisfy
her the organist took off her plush
cloak, and there, costly perched upon
the top Of her hustle. sat q mouse,
bright-eyed and paralyzed with terror.
In spite of the solemnity Of the occasion
the organist laughed aloud, and the
female members of the choir jumped up
on the seats and drew their dresses
tightly around them. The mouse
escaped.-B Globe.
